    Greyhawk info (around Thornward)?

    Hi all, Thanks for the pointers. Unfortunately none of those sites had Thornward/Bissel information, but they do have links to other sites that I have yet to check out. I don't really have time to make my own map, and I am looking to make it somewhat consistent with other material. The maps...

    Greyhawk info (around Thornward)?

    Hi all, I own the D&D Gazetteer and the Living Greyhawk Gazeteer. Both of these fall far short of acceptable settings. There are no roads on the map for darn's sake! Anyhow, my party is around Thornward, and I plan on using Veluna/Ket/Bissel/Gran March conflicts, so they'll be in and around...

    Novel series that you can't stand.

    I couldn't make it past the first book. The only book I've ever put down and refused to finish. I spent $3 on it, and feel cheated. It was, without a doubt, the single worst thing I have ever read. The characters were monumentally stupid, the writing was dreck, and there was so little...

    Angel news on Sci Fi Wire

    I had thought that it plays out like this: The character of Spike wants the chip removed. He also, subconsciously, wants to be able to love Buffy the way she deserves to be loved. He travels to Africa to get the chip removed. When he passes the demon's tests, the demon sees his subconscious...

    Angel news on Sci Fi Wire

    I dunno, I thought the whole Spike soul thing is fairly clear cut. Spike was definitely, without a doubt, wanted to get the chip removed. However, he worded his request to the demon as "put me back the way I was," or similar. Remember the warning in the PHB about carefully wording your...

    Buffy series finale (spoilers)

    Well, I am uncertain of the timing of the script ... I was under the impression that it was "leaked" prior to airing. HOWEVER, the "alternative script" is about 99.9% identical to the actual show script. A few lines are added, and a few changed around (Anya says one thing instead of Andrew)...

    Buffy series finale (spoilers)

    Hmm, I hadn't really thought of it that way. Two catches, though: they did show at least 3 or 4 non-characters (NPCs?) who obviously became Slayers. Even if you assume a few others (maybe 20 in total?) and it's still way more than can be handled by one world. 1. I believe that it is...

    Buffy series finale (spoilers)

    Hey, I'm pretty new to the Buffy phenom (didn't start watching until 2 months ago). I've managed to see some of first, and most of 2-4th season (Space shows nightly, is mid-5th season now). The finale was good, but not great. Wasn't spectacular, but was good. A few things I thought were...

    Buffy [12-May-03]

    Needless to say, if Spike "turns evil" after witnessing that perplexing kiss, and being "egged on" by The First, then it will uncategorically be among the worst episodes ever.

    Magic Fang Question

    Hi all, If this is cast on a dire bear with 2 claw attacks, does it affect only 1 claw, or both? If this is cast on a druid wildshaped into a bear, does it persist if he wildshapes back to a human - now perhaps it is on his hand? And then when wildshaped into a tiger ... does it continue...

    Good spells for a druid?

    Ah, I hate following up to my own post so quickly, but I forgot: Speak with ... is only as good as the GM allows. How do you speak to dirt? What I mean is, what perception does dirt or stone have? What valuable information do they impart? Same with speak with animals. If I ask a bird if a...

    Good spells for a druid?

    Hi, Thanks for the replies. I had the game. Interesting. Animal Companions + Summoned Animals + Animal Growth is OBSCENE. I can see how that is quite powerful. HOWEVER, I did run into some difficulty. The villain flew. Also had high SR. Flame strike, Greater Creeping Cold did nothing to...

    Good spells for a druid?

    Hi all, I'm about to embark on high-level campaign wherein a play a druid (level 15). What are good spells for druids? I have PHB, MoF, QDruid, DotF, MoW, T&B, Rokugan, Pocket Grimoire Divine. I can use any spell from any source (within reason, Miasma is out). E.g., what would be good...

    Song of Ice and Fire (GRR Martin) -- how many books? -- SPOILERS!

    Spatula - I have heard speculation about a certain someone being a Targaryen as well. I don't think this would work out, though, as it seems that character has made a very firm decision to take them out of rulership forever. But if GRR is consciously making it Shakespearean, then it is a...

    Song of Ice and Fire (GRR Martin) -- how many books? -- SPOILERS!

    Well I've just finished Storm of Swords, and am eagerly awaiting Feast for Crows I agree, he definitely does have a goal in mind. Not at all Jordanesque. Holy Bovine - I'm a little lost on why you're confused about Jon Snow - he was named Lord Commander of the Watch at the end of SoS. Arya...

    Song of Ice and Fire (GRR Martin) -- how many books? -- SPOILERS!

    So the first three can be considered a complete trilogy, then, a story unto itself? And the next three are merely a continuation - interesting, and built upon the first three, but wholly independent tales? Or is the story left hanging, with no real conclusion by the end of Storm of Swords...
